GSN Digital Invites Gamers to Help Defeat Breast Cancer This Mother's Day

WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwired - May 9, 2013) - In the U.S. alone, 1 in every 8 women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. In an effort to raise much-needed funds to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer, GSN Digital, through its partnership with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF), is giving game lovers the opportunity to give back in a fun, interactive way.

Players can participate in GSN's Oodles for Breast Cancer Awareness program by playing their favorite casual games like GSN ChaChingo Bingo, Wheel of Fortune® and Bejeweled 2, as well as answering daily trivia questions. Players earn GSN's virtual currency, Oodles, traditionally redeemable for gift cards and prizes, which can be donated in $5 or $10 dollar increments to help support BCRF year-round.

To date, GSN has raised over $950,000 for breast cancer charities. To join the fight against breast cancer by participating in GSN's Oodles for Breast Cancer Awareness program for BCRF, please visit www.gsn.com/bcrf and click on the More Info button under Oodles for Breast Cancer.
